Working on the popup!

Ok gals, I know its winter and most of you haven't been out so what are you doing on land to work on your surfing? Well here's a quick overview on what you can be doing everyday to help you with surfing. Try this simple routine 1-3 x a day. All it takes it about 5 mins and the pay off is well worth it.

Exercises~

First do 15 Popups, followed by 25 pushups, and then finish with a plank 3 x for one minute.

Below I  have shown you how to do a popup and a plank. If you go to the archive I wrote about pushups and the different ones you can use.....so check it out!  Get in to it!

Pop Ups~

• Lie face down with hands directly below your shoulders
• Draw belly button towards spine
• In one quick move, push up off the floor bringing both feet forward into a surfboard stance
• Return to start position and repeat 15 x
• Practice both legs, even if you are regular or goofy to avoid any imbalances and improve skill

Plank~

Lie face down with elbows directly below your shoulders and toes on mat pushing heels into the air Draw belly button towards spin. Hold for one minute If this is to hard break a min into 2 30 seconds or if this is easy then raise one foot in the air for 30 and then repeat with the other Return to start position and repeat 3X
